Shortcut to Create a Purchase Order from the Work Order

As a Service Provider we receive Work Orders on work requested from a customers. Often we need to create purchases either for services or for material to perform the work for our customers.

When working with the Work Order, it would save time if I from the work Order could open and create a new Purchase Order, so that the navigation trail remains.

Today I have to leave the work order and go to the application Purchase Order to create a new PO.

    Thank you for submitting the idea. We are reviewing it now and have a few questions.

    1. Would this bypass the autocreation of PR/PO we already available with the reorder process ?

    2. Would this only be for creating PO?

    3. PO is a power app with many features and capability, is the thought to replicate all this on the WO?

    4. Or only create a "shell" PO record from the WO which establishes the connection then allow the user a navigation (Go To PO) option from the PO field being stored on the WO?
